Journalism, Performed: Reporting On Weight Loss Drugs Like Ozempic

WNYC and Theater of War Productions have teamed up for a series of live readings and discussion series bring actors together with journalists to bring important and complex reporting to life. This month, the series features a December 2023 article from The Atlantic by Rebecca Johns called A Diet Writer’s Regrets, which reflects on weight loss, social pressure, and the unintended consequences of diet culture. On March 22, WNYC will air a recording of the live event, in which actor Hope Davis performs a reading of the article, followed by a conversation with Johns and Theater of War Artistic Director Bryan Doerries, who discuss the series, and its latest installment.
